+45°C (+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit

on.

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of

the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the

fuse(s) blows more than once, carefully check all

electrical connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your

vehicle’s voltage regulator checked.

Maintenance

If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit

yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest

Alpine Service Station for servicing.
